Indoor middle school PE
In alignment with last week's district announcement, "FVSD Extreme Heat Advisory: Safety Guidance & Campus Actions," Fountain Valley School District schools have actively adjusted campus routines to keep students safe, hydrated, and comfortable during elevated temperatures.

Demonstrating this commitment in real time, the Physical Education department at Masuda Middle School found an active, high-energy way to keep students moving while protecting them from extreme weather.

Transforming the school's Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) into a cool, air-conditioned sports arena, PE teachers Mr. Garcia and Mr. Sapp guided Monarchs through engaging indoor activities designed to promote physical fitness without exposure to the heat.

With an excessive heat forecast for the coming week (Monday, October 5 through Friday, October 9, 2026), we want to share how the Fountain Valley School District will keep students safe and as comfortable as possible.

FVSD follows current guidance from the California Department of Education (CDE), California Department of Public Health (CDPH). We will continue to monitor weather conditions, school facilities, and individual school needs, adjusting activities as necessary.

Schools will remain open on their regular schedules. Because conditions may vary by school and throughout the day, outdoor activities, events, or locations may be modified when needed.

FVSD 5th Graders Explore Hands-On STEM at Los Alamitos STARBASE Academy

Newland Elementary 5th graders recently completed an exciting, week-long day trip series to the STARBASE Academy, located at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos.

The STARBASE program offers students high-energy, interactive learning experiences focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Each day, students traveled to the base to participate in practical scientific experiments, computer-aided design (CAD) activities, and collaborative engineering projects led by specialized instructors.

The week proved to be a remarkable experience for the students. Beyond the engaging classroom curriculum, traveling to the base during local Airshow week offered students a unique opportunity to see real-world aviation demonstrations and military aircraft up close.
